It's actually here....Join your favorite nerds in discussing, breaking down, and dissecting not only the biggest movie of the year, but one of the biggest superhero films of all time 'SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME'. It's been one hell of a journey getting to the release of this movie. There have been leaks from behind the scenes, leaks from actors, rumors, you name it. But we have finally seen the movie to see if any of it is real. This movie is a love letter to all things Spider-Man so of course we had to begin with a recap (1:24) on how we got here, followed by our spoiler-free review (18:09), and our spoiler-filled review and character breakdown (30:02). Naturally we also had to talk about the credit stingers and their implications on the future of both Spider-Man films and the MCU. We hope you enjoyed this movie as much as we did and we're excited to say that part one of the season finale of the podcast could go out on such a banger. "Let's Scooby Doo this shit"
